Manifest

We are a group - forming as we speak - of international artists with our group home base in New York. The active and consistent members of the group are not yet determined and the group does not yet have a name.

I, Nikki York, am writing this manifest to let the potential group members know, what they are signing up for, providing a maximum of artistic freedom and individuality, but also delivering a frame work, direction, goals and quality standards. This manifest also lets the public know who we are and what we declare.

Manifest

  • Art, that has no to little effect, or does not attempt to and eventually have a significant, constructive impact on art history and thereby world society is worthless art and to be seen as craftsmanship, artisanry, decoration, or entertainment.
  • Art, that repeats art history without a major aesthetical innovation or evolution is worthless and to be seen as either spirit killer, mad professionalism and perfectionalism, anal bullshit, or study.
  • We are producing worthless art like crazy, but simply because we couldn't do any better yet - studying - and we are not giving up on it.
  • We are sexy!
  • We want to turn this world into a more beautiful place for not only some, but for all!
To be continued, Nikki York on August 4th, New York
